Mine has a death rattle, is continually slopping his mouth around, picking his nose then rolling the contents and dropping it on the floor.

He also looks a LOT like Herr Goering.

Ahaha! Mine used to be a headmaster so he talks to me like I'm 5!

If you don't feel comfortable with him then defo get another, Christ knows its not cheap so don't waste your money on someone that you don't click with

You can book any driving instructor you like! Mine used to get me to drive to his wife's place of work and nip in to see her for 10 mins Shock

MrsKittyFane · 26/04/2012 18:04

Oh and I had another who liked to tell me how unhappy his marriage was :( ...

I've only got a week left until my test so I'll stick with him.

I just want him to stop rattling! It'd be rude to ask wouldn't it?

Oh dear mrsKF :/ unfortunately there's a lot out there like that.

My first one used to sit sorting out his loose change and he used to take the wheel and tell me to look at the sheep and stuff. He also used to tell me how to position the seat beat between my boobs [erm] he put me off driving for years

Bambino81 · 26/04/2012 18:08

Just start rolling your eyes a lot (if he has the extra mirrors so he can see your eyes) but yeah with a week to go i'd not bother. Is it your first test?

Horrid. I had one who would regularly make me stop somewhere unsafe so he could nip in somewhere for a wee/to buy fags. He put me down every time I made a mistake and told me I was months away from putting in for my test.

Eventually I broke down in tears and told him to cancel the next lesson. Because I told him directly and not his office, I was still charged for the next lesson. Bastard.

I changed instructor and passed 10 weeks later.

LOL @ look at the sheep.

Yep 1st test.

I keep expecting him to Heil Hitler, if there was ever a market for nazi leader impersonaters he'd have a job for life. He is Goering's double.

I had 3 instructors when I was learning at 17. The first tried to touch me up and took me to the pub after every lesson (BSM instructor) the second was rude and told me I was shit (another BSM instructor). I ended up with a lovely local woman and passed on my 5th attempt (rubbish exam nerves). So important to have a nice patient person to teach you IMO.

Bambino81 · 26/04/2012 18:16

Hahaha that make me giggle. Bless him, is he old? Mines old and smells of TCP. He cracked one off in the car the other week, the windows were up and I didn't have the heart to unwind one.

SmallShips · 26/04/2012 18:22

Bambino81 · 26/04/2012 18:24
